Overcoming shortcomings and limitations, effectively implementing state management in all fields

In his concluding remarks, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Duc Trung assessed that the province's administrative reform work in recent times has changed in all areas; administrative procedure reform, especially the implementation of Project 06, has achieved good results, ranking among the top in the country with many creative models.

However, there are still some officials and civil servants who violate discipline, administrative discipline, and public ethics to the extent that they must be disciplined. Digital transformation has not achieved high results due to many objective and subjective factors. In the coming time, it is necessary to continue to improve the direction and management work; continue to enhance the public ethics of officials and civil servants.

According to the Provincial Party Secretary and Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, the work of preventing and combating corruption has been carried out resolutely, with the motto of prevention being better than cure.

In the work of receiving people, handling complaints and denunciations, the role of local and district authorities still has limitations. In 2025, this work needs special attention to create conditions for the good organization of Party Congresses at all levels, towards the National Congress of Delegates.

The Provincial Party Secretary and Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee assessed that the work of preventing and combating crimes and law violations has achieved many positive results, with many models being highly appreciated by the Ministry of Public Security and replicated nationwide. In 2025, it is necessary to continue to strengthen to ensure political security and social order and safety.

The results of the province's National Target Program on New Rural Development have achieved positive results. Up to now, the whole province has 327/411 communes meeting new rural standards; 127 communes meeting advanced new rural standards; 25 model new rural communes. 11 district-level units have completed their tasks/met new rural standards.

With the identified difficulties, comrade Nguyen Duc Trung suggested that in the coming time, sectors and localities need to pay more attention to this work. Besides, in the national target program for sustainable poverty reduction, the issue that needs to be focused on is the disbursement of public investment capital.

Compliance with policies and laws on occupational safety and hygiene still has many shortcomings, and a number of occupational accidents and diseases still occur. In the coming time, when the province attracts more investment and the number of workers in factories increases, this issue must be paid more attention.

In addition, the implementation of children's rights and the resolution of child-related issues are very important, but the situation of children drowning and being abused is still worrying. The innovation of general education programs and textbooks has been comprehensively implemented by the province from grades 1 to 12.

In the coming time, Provincial Party Secretary and Provincial People's Committee Chairman Nguyen Duc Trung proposed to properly arrange the teaching staff at all levels to effectively implement the National Assembly's Resolutions on innovation of general education programs and textbooks.

At the meeting, the Provincial People's Committee also listened to, commented on and unanimously approved the draft Resolutions of the Provincial People's Council to submit to the Provincial People's Council for consideration according to its authority.
